    Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand‚ Half sunk‚ a shatter’d visage lies‚ whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive‚ stamp’d on these lifeless things‚ The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed.
